Akiko Takahashi is a Japanese ceramist who runs her small ceramics studio called Yanasan Kobo in Yanaka, a quieter part of Tokyo. Akiko designs and makes each of her ceramics at her workplace, which is just the size of "four tatami mats" (approx. 6 square meters). Akiko Takahashi has been making pottery since her primary school days and the reason why she still does it today is simple: working and shaping the clay with her own hands and holding a finished object in her hands at the end is what motivates Akiko.
Akiko writes: "I want my objects to bring moments of discovery and joy to those who use them. Not only functionality, but also inspiration."
